Al Experts Opinion of Exercise.

Take the heart-itself a very bundle
of muscular fbers. We know that as
long as we live, whether sleeping or
waking that wonderful organ keeps up
its wonderful eontractions and expan-
sions. But, when we use our muscles,
their contractile force upon the blood
vessels helps the blood along it's chan
nels, and thus takes a little labor from
the propelling heart. 1t beats fasterlbut
with less effort. While helping the
heart, muscular exercise helps the lEngs
also. More exercise means for the ltngs
more breath; that is, more air inspired
and more earbonic-acid gas expired.
BY deeper breathings the involuntary
muscles are strengthened.
While the lungs and heart are dding
better work under the stimulus of mus
cular exercise, the heart pumping the
blood more certainly to the fartherrh ST
tissue of the body and the lungs more
rapidly purifying the blood, other or
gans are benefited. The diaphragm,
that muscle separating the lungs and
heart from the stomach and liver, is
rising and falling, and, with the in
creased expansion and contraction of
the walls of the thoraX, is moving all the
contents of the abdomen to activity.
The liver, the great gland of the body,
has not only mort blood sent to it, but
is actuated to action.

FARM NOTES

PRESERVING EGas.-At the Etf@
mingham Poultry show, England,
prizes were offered for the best dozen
preserved eggs that had been kept two
months. The eggs were tested by
breaking one of each set competing
for the prize into a clear saucer; also
by boiling one Of each lot. The eggs
that had been preserved in lime water,
1t was found on breaking them, pre-.
sented cloudy whites. Eggs preserved
by rubbing over with beeswax and oil
showed thin, watery whites. Eggs that
stood best test of boiling, and which
gained the first prize, had been simply
packed in common salt. These had
lost little if any by evaporation, had
good, consistent albumen, and were
pleasant TO the taste. The exhibit which
took the second prize vas scarcely In
ferior in quality. These were preser-
we'd as follows: Melt m part OF white
wax to two parts of spermaceti; boil
and mix thoroughly or, two parts
clarified suet to one of wax and n OF
spermaceti. Take new-laid eggs rub
with antiseptic salt or fine rice starch.
Wrap each egg in fine tissue paper,
putting the broad edge downward;
screw the paper lightly at the top,
leaving an inch to hold it by. Dip
each egg rapidly into the fat heated to
1000. Withdraw and leave to cool.
Pack broad end downward N dry,
white sand or sawdust. The judges
were inclined to believe that had the
trial been for a longer period than two
months this latter method would per-
haps have proven the better of the two.
The eggs were excellent, and on strip
ping off the waved paper the shells
presented the clean, fresh appearance
Of newly-lald eggs.

Professor ". 4. Bennett recently
performed an interesting experiment II
solidlfying carbonlc acid gas at the
University of Wooster. Carbon diox'
ide was generated in q cylinder OF Bes
semer steel, under a pressure of 5000
pounds to the square inch. From there
it was allowed to escape into a conden'
ser In the condition of solidifed gas,
resembling snowfiakes in appearance.
The temperature of this solidlfied
gas is 1853 degrees Fahrenheit be-
low zero. A small quantity OF
this gas was then gathered and
pressed into a so-called ''snow-ball," on
one side Of which was q small depres.
sion. The ball was placed in a red hot
crucible, upon which the intense heat
of a Bunsen burner was playing. A
little mercury and ether were dropped
into the depression on the ''gas ball."
and, Notwithstanding the intense heat,
the mercury was Immediately frozen.
Professor Bennett then advanced one
step higher by setting the ether on IRE,
but still be was enabled TO pick out the
frozen bulb of mercury. An instance
Of this last step, in which mercury was
frozen in q fame as well as over a red
hot crucible. has never been recorded IN
science, and was perfectly original
with Professor Bennett.
A Neto York scientist claims to have
discovered, along the Lehigh valley, a
hitherto unknown metal which will
some day supplant nickel in general
use. He was making an experiment
with an explosive substance mixed with
puIyerlzed furnace Stag, which, on being
heated, caused an explosion to take
place. Upon examining the crucible in
which the mixture had been, he found
that a chemical process had taken
place by which an apparently valuable,
but hitherto unknown. metal had been
eliminated from the Stag. 1t was sill
very white in color, of fine, smooth
texture, and susceptible of a brilliant
polish that 40 exposure will tarnish. 1t
was found to be malleable, ductile and
of great tenaclty, showing a tensile
resistance of 140, 900 pounds to the
square inch. Further experiments
only confirmed the results of the first
trial, and a company has now been
formed for the purpose of working"
the large Stag banks along the Lehlgh
valley for the new metal.
